:sig DTree* unit_call(String file_name, String function_name, DTree* call_param = null) :params file_name : UCE file to load and execute function_name : name of the function to invoke call_param : optional, call parameter return value : DTree* returned from function :desc Calls an exported function inside another UCE file. Use `unit_call()` when you need a structured data exchange between units rather than rendered HTML output. The callee must expose an `EXPORT` function whose name matches `function_name`. Arguments are passed through `call_param`, and the return value is a `DTree*` owned by the callee. :Example // export a function EXPORT DTree* test_func(DTree* call_param) { print("HELLO FROM TEST FUNCTION"); return(0); } // use that function in another file unit_call("call_file_funcs.uce", "test_func"); :related **PHP:** `include`, `require`, or calling a function from an included module, especially when returning arrays or objects instead of rendering a view. **JavaScript / Node.js:** Importing a module and calling an exported function, or dynamically loading a module and passing structured arguments. :see >ob
